With our blog back on line here are some of the highlights of 2008.....
On a sunny day in April we had a photo shoot at St. Ninian's Isle, some of the pictures feature on our homepage.
Later in April Andrew went to Norway to take part in a stofa building project. Stofas are a traditional Norwegian style log cabin. The project was to partly rebuild a Stofa which is now on Papa Stour. The logs were shaped in Bergen then later in the summer transported to Papa Stour to a site where archeologists had found the remains of a Stofa dating from Viking times.
In June Paparwark exhibited at the "Flavour of Shetland" showcase held on Victoria Pier in Lerwick. The weather was mixed but still a good opportunity to exhibit to locals and tourists.
Also in June we had several pieces of work photographed by Mark Sinclair of phatsheep. You can see more of his work at www.phatsheep.co.uk. Each year Shetland Arts and crafts pays for members to have professional photography of some of their work.
August included a well deserved holiday with the workshop closing down.
